query: *peer-reviewed* journals in Islamic Studies...

I am posting the following on behalf of the undersigned who is 
temporarily in possession of a changed e-mail address and 
consequently unable to post to the list at present.  Please reply 
directly to him.  Thanks  -CJ-]

From: Alan Godlas <godlas@...>

Dear MELAnetters,

Does anyone have a list of names and addresses (and email addresses 
and web-pages if possible)  of *peer-reviewed* journals in Islamic 
Studies that publish articles in English (but not necessarily solely 
in English)?  If so, please send it to me. Unfortunately, I do not 
think that such a comprehensive list exists on the web.  It would be 
especially useful for colleagues who do not yet have tenure.

I would be happy to compile such a list and create a webpage for it. 
I suppose one way to organize this would be to have two categories, 
one for peer-reviewed journals specifically in Islamic Studies and 
another for peer-reviewed journals that are broader or overlapping in 
scope but that nevertheless commonly accept articles in Islamic 
Studies and in English (such as AAR, MESA, Iranian Studies).

I already have the following Islamic Studies peer-reviewed journals 
linked to my website:

Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies, edited by Joseph N. Bell, et al.
Journal of Qur'anic Studies
The Muslim World, edited by Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi'.
Journal of Islamic Studies, edited by Farhan Ahmed Nizami.

Re: query: *peer-reviewed* journals

The print version of Ulrichs Periodicals Directory has a section on
"Refereed Journals".  If you have access to Ulrichs on the web,
"ulrichsweb.com", one of the limits you can apply to a search is
'refereed'.  A list of 25 came up when I did a title keyword search on
'islam' or 'middle east'.

New Middle East librarian at Utah

Dear Colleagues,

As you may recall, the head of the Middle East library at the 
University of Utah, Ragai Makar, retired 2 years ago. I, the Middle 
East cataloger since 1991, was named acting head while we 
conducted a search for Ragai's replacement. The search was not 
successful, and the library was not in any hurry to reopen it. In 
fact, I think the library admin would have been quite happy if I had 
just quietly settled in as permanent head and sole Middle East 
librarian, doing everything. But I argued that previously  there had 
essentially been two ME librarians, Ragai and myself, and that 
there was still enough work for two librarians, the cataloging alone 
being a full time job. I am glad to say that our library director, 
Sarah Michalak, agreed with me. 

We decided, however, not to join the 4 other libraries fishing in the 
shallow pool of ME librarians. We are fortunate to already have 
local talent. Leonard Chiarelli, currently working as adjunct librarian 
in the Science library, is joining me in the Middle East library as 
the ME librarian responsible for public services (reference, 
instruction, etc.). No doubt many of you are already acquainted 
with Leonard. He has a Ph.D. in ME history, knows Arabic, and is 
an active and published scholar in ME studies.  

So that's how things have shaken down at Utah. I'm being kept on 
as head of the ME library, only because I have seniority in terms of 
years as a librarian. I will continue to be primarily the ME 
cataloger, while Leonard will handle the public aspects of the job, 
and we will split collection development duties. Leonard has great 
knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm for ME librarianship and

I was wondering if anybody has heard of or seen this publication. I'd
like to know more about its operating system, file format, etc. and where
it can be purchased.

of the Public Libraries of the Country], 1991-  ).
Diskettes beginning in 1370/1991-2, CD-ROM's beginning in 1373/1994-5,

Thanks,

We have a number of the diskettes here at the Hoover, but I have run a few 
of them only a couple of times, years ago, for lack of enough memory on my 
pc and sufficient technical knowledge.  Our interest in Persian, also, has 
fluctuated between minimal and less, and it was hard to justify the 
time.   They were supplied by Saeed Damadi, who is currently in New Jersey 
and reachable at 240-453-9074.   His information back home is:

Fax : 0098 (21) 865 800
mobile: 0098 911 2259002
e-mail : sdamadi@...

Saeed is using a different e-mail address while in the US but I see that I 
failed to record it.  If anyone on Melanet has it, could you please post it?
I think it may be sdamadi@... but am not sure.

help needed locating ed. of Firdawsi (Bibliotheca Persica, 1)

A researcher urgently needs the following work:

Ferdowsi, The Shahnameh, I. Ed. Djalal Khalegh-i Motlagh (Khaliq-i Mutlaq)
Bibliotheca Persica, 1; Persian texts series, n.s. 1 (New York, 1988).

It is cited in Index Islamicus, with no. of pages indicated, so I assume
the work exists.  But it's not in our library's collection and attempts
at locating it in OCLC and RLIN did not turn up any holdings elsewhere.
Then again, it's possible I didn't use the right search strategy ...

Can anyone suggest a library that has holdings of this particular work?

Thanks!
Andras
